As far as cannabis events go, it has been a very hit or miss situation within the industry. Some cannabis events are pulled off without a hitch while others have been a veritable Fyre Fest situation. October 2, 2021 Puffco set an industry standard with their first annual block party called Puffcon.
Puffco is a company that makes a product called the Puffco Peak, which is a digital electronic smart rig that has elevated the way we consume concentrates in the modern day. Founded in 2013 by Roger Volodarsky, the Puffco brand has been on the pursuit of the highest levels of consumption and continues to put out products that define the concentrated cannabis extract lifestyle.
Puffco Peak
The Puffco Peak device allows hash-heads to take their dabbing habits on the go without the use of a torch. Parts are upgradeable, customizable, and every few months Puffco releases limited edition devices. These limited runs of unique Peak units quickly sell out and have gained a cult-like following for collecting them. Many variations can be found in both the Peak or Peak Pro models.
Puffcon Block Party
The Puffcon Block Party is a high quality gathering for Puffco owners only and took place at an events space in downtown Los Angeles in the middle of Los Angeles center studios. With the LA skyline as its backdrop, this event celebrated the Puffco brand and its die-hard following. The Puffcon event featured vendors, food, art, and hash with little to no schedule, which made it a very laid back and relaxed atmosphere.
Music Performances
The only thing that was in fact scheduled was the music performances from artists like Flat Bush Zombies and Action Bronson. Everything else was sort of a free flow schedule for the day, so attendees could explore the highly potent gathering at one's leisure.
Vendors at Puffcon
Cannabis events are known for usually having one focus such as competition, cannabis plant cultivation, glass blowing, or musical lineup. Puffco did an amazing job of balancing the focus of Puffcon throughout all the vendors and exhibits of the event. Their layout was convenient and felt open and uncrowded despite the large number of attendees.
Amenities were top notch and water, food, shade and other necessities were readily available. A large lawn area was also available with picnic tables and lawn chairs that made an excellent place to sesh, network, or just talk hash and all things Puffco.
Psychedelic Mushroom Theme
A psychedelic mushroom theme was apparent all over, from the tables and lawn ornaments to the official Puffcon t-shirt designs. This is a sign of the industry shift many are anticipating as decriminalization of psychedelics is happening in major cities like Seattle and Washington D.C.
Pre-Release of the New 3D Chamber
Puffco also made this event the pre-release of their new 3D chamber, which is an upgraded atomizer for the Puffco Peak Pro device. This new 3D atomizer promises bigger clouds, bigger dabs, and a better use of your concentrate, elevating the already innovative design of the Puffco Peak Pro. Puffco states the new atomizer will make it feel like a whole new device.
The 3D atomizers were available for purchase from the Puffco products booth that also had the complete Puffco lineup of products on sale at discounted prices, along with their Puffcon exclusive merch, including t-shirts and posters.
Alien Labs and other Brands Featured at Puffcon
Many legal cannabis industry leaders and brands also attended this event. The founder of the Alien Labs brand, Ted, was in attendance and we got an exclusive look at his UFO Puffco attachment and his Puffcon only merch. Other brands like Talking Terps and Elboglass were also in attendance with Puffcon exclusives and tons of merch. This event had a great selection of heady collectibles, apparel, Puffco glass attachments and more.
Thank you Puffco team for an unforgettable day that sets a new standard for industry events!
